不要在我墓前哭泣

我不在那裡，我沒有長眠
我是四處流動的風
我是雪中閃耀的鑽石
我是陽光下成熟的稻谷
我是秋天裡的雨露
當你在寧静的早晨醒来
我是俐落疾飛的鳥
我是夜晚閃爍的星星
不要站在我的墓前哭泣
我不在那裡

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

active service in Northern Ireland, in an envelope left for them. A poem with these lyrics was penned by Mary Frye in 1936, and a second with versus 1 and 2
